For some reason I thought of the Alien movie tag "In computing, no one can hear you scream."

The first 2 Alien movies were awesome...they kinda went downhill after that.

Yup. Unfortunately it's not always the ignorant neighbors fault initially because most garden centers and nurseries don't bother to educate people even slightly about bamboo and often have downright wrong information on the tags of the plants. Though certainly it's their fault in the long run and unfortunately bamboo collectors have been lax in getting the word out about how to deal with it easily which has led to all sorts of bad publicity for bamboo. Although if they continue to do nothing in the face of it spreading then they are not nice neighbors at all or completely don't notice it which is an excuse only if they are elderly. Bamboo can be controlled with nothing more than a sharp spade and a brief amount of slicing two days a year in fall and early spring. Fortunately bamboo's reputation as being an out of control invader that will reach through your bedroom window and strangle you in your sleep is highly exaggerated and more often than not what people are actually being invaded with is Japanese Knotweed wich is erroneously also called "Mexican bamboo" in the U.S. and that particular plant *is* an invasive nasty weed but it's not bamboo. Bamboo will spread out of control if it's the running kind (the clumpers can't spread out of control) and it is super easy to kill or get rid of if done right. If done wrong it will keep spreading and coming up everywhere. You can *easily* get rid of it no muss or fuss. I posted a guide for a guy with the same problem you have here: http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/forums/showpost.php?p=145313&postcount=21[^] Just be sure it's not Japanese knotweed / mexican "bamboo", you can tell if it's not bamboo because bamboo is an evergreen, it retains it's leaves all winter. Knotweed on the other hand has very large leaves and the leaves and stalks fall over and die every winter (though the roots persist).

Hilarious, I didn't see that when I posted it.

Cheers, Vikram.
